This two-storey neo-classical bank building at ul. Śródmiejska 29 was designed by Warsaw architect Hugo Kuder and constructed in 1912 as the headquarters of Bank Handlowy Warszawski. The L-shaped structure features a distinctive rounded corner section framed by Ionic half-columns with garland-decorated capitals, crowned by a pediment containing an allegorical relief. The interior banking hall is notable for its marble checkerboard flooring, marbled pilasters with gilded capitals, elaborate stucco decorations, and a large steel-framed stained glass skylight.

The theatre has occupied four different buildings throughout its history: the original 1801 wooden structure collapsed after 15 years; its 1830s replacement burned in an 1858 city fire; the neo-Renaissance building erected in 1896–1900 was deliberately destroyed by German forces during the burning of Kalisz in 1914.

The first wooden theatre building erected by Bogusławski in 1801 fell apart after 15 years. In the 1830s, the theatre was rebuilt in its current location, but it burned down in a city fire in April 1858. For over 40 years, performances were held in a riding school adapted for this purpose, and later in a temporary wooden winter theatre. In the years 1896–1900, a neo-Renaissance theatre building was erected according to the design of Józef Chrzanowski. The building was burned down by the Germans during the demolition of Kalisz in 1914. In 1920, construction of the current building began and lasted 16 years, according to the design of Czesław Przybylski.
